Nina Simone

Body And Soul

Nina Simone


My heart 
Is sad and lonely 
For you I sigh 
For you dear only 
Why haven't you 
Seen it? 
I'm all for you 
Body and soul 

I spend my days 
In longing 
And wondering why 
It's me you're wronging 
I tell you I mean it 
I'm all for you 
Body and soul 

I can't believe it 
It's hard to conceive it 
That you'd 
Turn away romance 
Are you pretending? 
Looks like the ending 
Unless I could have 
One more chance to prove 
Dear 
My life's a wreck 
You're making 
You know that I'm yours 
For just the taking 
I'd gladly surrender 
Body and soul
